Why study Food Science and Nutrition Diploma (Level 3) - Vocational Entry requirements: Students require a GCSE 9 - 4 grade in one or more of the following: Food Technology, Biology, Physical Education or Hu-manities. Linear - 2 year course This qualification focuses on key areas including: Meeting Nutritional Needs of Specific Groups Ensuring Food is Safe to

Eat Current Issues in Food Science and Nutrition

Year 12 AND 13 CONTENT

During this course, you will complete three units of work.

The purpose of unit 1 is for you to develop an understanding of the nutritional needs of specific target groups and plan and cook complex dishes to

meet their nutritional needs. You will develop skills for preparing, cooking and presenting dishes that meet specific needs.

The second unit of work is ‘Ensuring Food is Safe to Eat’. In this unit you will develop an understanding of hazards and risks in relation to the stor-age, preparation and cooking of food in different environments and the control measures needed to minimise these risks. From this understanding,

you will be able to recommend the control measures that need to be in place in different environments, where food is stored, prepared and cooked.

The third unit of work is focusing on ‘Current Issues in Food Science and Nutrition’. Through this unit, you will develop the skills needed to plan, carry out and present an assignment. The aim of this unit is to understand the properties of food and plan and carry out experiments or practical

work to demonstrate the properties of food.

You will use the results of experiments or practical work to propose options to solve food production problems. Unit 1: ‘Meeting Nutritional Needs of Specific Groups’ will be both internally and externally assessed - 90 minute examination; plus 15 minutes

reading time

Unit 2- The total time allowed is 8 hours controlled assessment

The aim of this unit is to give learners an understanding of hazards and risks in relation to storage, preparation and cooking of food in different environments and the control measures needed to minimise these risks. They will be able to use this understanding to be able to produce guid-ance material to facilitate the training of new food handlers recommend control measures that need to be in place, in given environments, to en-

sure that food is safe to eat.

Unit 3 – Theory work integrated with experimental/practical work.

Controlled assessment: Students need to understand the properties of food. Plan and carry out experiments or practical work to demonstrate the properties of food. Use results of experiments or practical work to propose options to solve food production problems. Careers involving Product Design An understanding of Food Science and Nutrition is relevant to many industries and job roles. Care Providers and Nutritionists in hospitals use this knowledge, as do Sports Coaches and Fitness Instructors. Hotels and Restaurants, Food Manufacturers and Government Agencies also use this understanding to develop menus, food products and policies that support healthy eating initiatives. Other careers could also include: Animal Nutritionist, Dietitian, Food Technologist, Nutritional Therapist, Product/Process Development and Toxicologist. There are many employment opportunities within the field of food science and nutrition available to graduates. University course guidance Together with other relevant qualifications at Level 3, such as AS and A Levels in Biology, Chemistry, Sociology and Maths and/or Level 3 qualifi-cations in Hospitality or Science, you will gain the required knowledge to be able to use the qualification to support entry to Higher Education courses such as; BSc Food and Nutrition, BSc Human Nutrition, BSc (Hons) Public Health Nutrition, BSc (Hons) Food Science and Technology.

Economics, AQA Linear Course The Bromfords School and Sixth Form College

Why study Economics?

Economics is concerned with the production, consumption and transfer of wealth. Arguably, Economics ultimately underpins everything we

humans do and studying the way in which people and markets interact can explain why people and governments act in certain ways.

Microeconomics focuses on the actions of individuals and industries within the economy; the interaction between buyer and seller, how people and

companies respond to price changes and how this impacts demand. Macroeconomics looks at Economics from a broad point of view, analysing

the economic output of entire countries their position in the international marketplace and how they allocate limited resources to maximise

production and encourage growth for future generations.

Entry requirements: Grade 6 in English Language and Mathematics (though students with a grade 5 in either will be considered on a case by case basis)

Careers involving Economics Financial analyst, economist, actuary, statistician, accountant, banking, stockbroking, insurance, sales, market, corporate lawyer, economist.

Degrees involving Economics: BA Economics, BA Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE), Economic History, Business and Economics. If a

student wants to study a BSC in Economics, Mathematics is advisable.

Why study Sociology?

Sociology is the study of human and social relationships and institutions. Sociology’s subject matter is diverse, ranging from crime to religion, the

family to the state, to the shared beliefs of a common culture. Unifying the study of these diverse subjects of study is sociology’s purpose of under-

Paper 1 Paper 2 Paper 3 Paper 4

Focuses on developing the

learner’s knowledge of the science

behind physical activity. This includes the structure and

function of key systems in the human body, the forces that

act upon us and the adaptations we make to our bodies through diet and training

regimes.

This includes models and theories that

affect learning and performance in physical activi-ties, how different methods of train-ing and feedback

work and why their effectiveness differs from per-son to person. It

also includes psychological

factors affecting group dynamics

and the effects of leadership and stress on per-

formers.

Focuses on the sociological and contemporary

issues that influ-ence and affect physical activity

and sport for both the audience and the performer and how sport affects society. Areas of study include the emergence and

evolution of modern sport and how

sports and pas-times in pre-

industrial and post-industrial Britain were shaped, the modern Olympic Games and the

impact on society of hosting global

sporting events and modern technology and its influence on

sport performers and spectators.
